Editor's note: An earlier version of this story included incorrect dates for No. 22, the annual rummage sale at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts, N50 W5050 Portland Road, Cedarburg. The sale dates are June 15 and 16. We apologize for the error.

One of these days, the weather will turn warmer, for real. Summer will be here, and once everyone gets over the utter shock of it, they’ll be looking to fill up their calendars with fun events – while they can. Before fall hits.

Here are a few ideas to get you started in the North Shore and Ozaukee County areas. This is by no means a comprehensive list. Get out there and explore!

2 Take a ride on the 30-mile Ozaukee Interurban Trail, spanning the entire length of Ozaukee County and connecting Mequon, Thiensville, Cedarburg, Grafton, Port Washington and Belgium with the We Energies right-of-way. The free trail is open to biking, inline skating, walking, running and, in winter, cross-country skiing. Motorized vehicles and horses are not allowed. Visit www.interurbantrail.us for maps and to learn more.

3 Take a tour of the Cedar Creek Winery, N70 W6340 Bridge Road, Cedarburg. Or find a new favorite at a tasting. Leave the kids at home, though: You must be at least 21 to sample the wines.

5 Did someone say beer? Check out the Wisconsin Beer Lovers Festival on June 16 at Bayshore Town center, 5800 N. Bayshore Drive, Glendale. Visit wisconsinbeerloversfest.com for pricing and more information.

6 Plan a picnic near the Cedarburg covered bridge, 1700 Cedar Creek Road, just north of Cedarburg in Covered Bridge Park. The chamber of commerce suggests it’s a great place for a photo op, and a good place to fish and launch a canoe, as well. www.co.ozaukee.wi.us/2241/Covered-Bridge-Park
